El Reg reports
Microsoft's relentless Windows 10 nagware has interrupted a live TV weather forecast, urging meteorologist Metinka Slater to upgrade.
The operating system suddenly popped up a box on screen insisting the station's computer be upgraded to the latest version--while Slater was on air describing thunderstorms rolling through Iowa, USA.
The cyber-badgering blatted over her doppler weather radar, which was being broadcast on KCCI 8 News [April 27].
"Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10. Gosh, what should I do?" Slater asked sarcastically.
So, do you know of a case of MSFT update pushiness that rivals this?

KDE 4? Gnome 3? SystemD?
The difference is that with Free Software you've usually got alternatives that don't require you to get a different operating system (SystemD might turn out to be an exception in the long term, though, as SystemD and non-SystemD Linuxes might diverge sufficiently that at some point they have to be regarded different operating systems).
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
